What have the artists said about the song?

“Something Just Like This” is about a relationship that doesn’t need to be superhumanly perfect, an ordinary love, a love everyone deserves like the boy on the cover art whose childhood memories are now boxed up. Coldplay is one of our biggest inspirations and this song was an absolute dream come true to make. The song, for the most part, was created during our first meeting with Chris Martin. We found some chords that everyone loved and then Chris plugged a mic into the PA in the studio and freestyled for an hour. This song was the result. We’ve never seen a song written in such a stream of conscious. It’s hard to maintain your identity when working with such an established artist but we feel this song is great balance between both us and Coldplay.

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This (Lyric)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]

I've been reading books of old

我曾讀過那些古老的書

The legends and the myths

那些傳奇和神話

Achilles and his gold

阿基里斯與他的黃金

Hercules and his gifts

海格力士跟他的天賦

Spiderman's control

蜘蛛人的特殊能力

And Batman with his fists

蝙蝠俠和他的拳頭

And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

而很顯然的 那些故事裡都不會有我的身影

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]

But she said, where'd you wanna go?

但她說：「你所嚮往之物為何？」

How much you wanna risk?

「你願意為它承受多大的風險？」

I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts

「我所尋找的並不是那有著超人天賦的人」

Some superhero

「超級英雄」

Some fairytale bliss

「或像童話故事一樣幸福的人」

Just something I can turn to

「我要的只是一個我能依賴的人」

Somebody I can kiss

「一個我能親吻的人」

[Bridge: Chris Martin]

I want something just like this

我要的只是像這樣的人

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this

我要的就只是這麼簡單

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
 

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

Oh, I want something just like this

我要的只是像這樣的人

I want something just like this

我要的就只是這麼簡單

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]

I've been reading books of old

我曾讀過那些古老的書

The legends and the myths

那些傳奇和神話

The testaments they told

他們所留下的那些遺囑

The moon and its eclipse

月亮的那些陰晴圓缺

And Superman unrolls a suit before he lifts

超人在離開前展開他的披風

But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

但那是我永遠無法做到的事

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]

She said, where'd you wanna go?

她說：「你所嚮往之物為何？」

How much you wanna risk?

「你願意為它承受多大的風險？」

I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts

「我所尋找的並不是那有著過人天賦的人」

Some superhero

「像超級英雄啦」

Some fairytale bliss

「或像童話故事一樣幸福的人」

Just something I can turn to

「我要的只是一個我能依賴的人」

Somebody I can miss

「能讓我思慕的人」

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

I want something just like this

我所想要的只是像這樣的人

I want something just like this

我所追求的就只是這麼簡單

[Bridge: Chris Martin]

Oh, I want something just like this

我要的只是像這樣的人

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this

我要的就只是這麼簡單

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]

where'd you wanna go?

你所嚮往之物為何？

How much you wanna risk?

你願意為它承受多大的風險？

I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts

我所尋找的並不是那有著超人天賦的人

Some superhero

超級英雄

Some fairytale bliss

或像童話故事一樣幸福的人

Just something I can turn to

我要的只是一個我能依賴的人

Somebody I can kiss

一個我能親吻的人

I want something just like this

我想找的就是這樣的人

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

Oh, I want something just like this

我所追求的只是像這樣的人

Oh, I want something just like this

我所想要的就只是這麼簡單

Oh, I want something just like this

我所追求的就是像你這樣的人

Oh, I want something just like this

我所想要的就是像你這樣的人
